5 thoughts on “October Poetry Challenge: Day Two”

Wow…I wish I could have read this sooner. I was busy doing something, now what was that??? Okay, scary, but I’ll post for all to see today:

Wedding day much anticipated
Baby girls bring so much life and joy
Busyness creeps in stealing our time
They’ve suddenly grown without notice
They’re leaving, is it really that time?
Our home feels empty though two remain
A new start with different goals now
Family grows in number and love
More precious memories being made
Thirty plus years that have flown right by
Seeing what matters for the first time

Shelby, this is such a beautiful poem and a wonderful reminder. I particularly loved these parts:
“But what if we kept the spirit?
What if we share soups, open our homes, and
take time to sit and talk with the lonely?

What if we didn’t wait for Christmas to speak
and show God’s love?

What if we donned Halloween costumes for our souls?
Mother Theresa, The Good Samaritan, Jesus Himself?
What if those costumes became our heart’s reality?”

Such a great question! And yes, let us step outside of our comfort zones and show God’s love. Awesome poem ❤ I loved it. Thank you for sharing! Off to read your Day 3 poem XO
